QUEBEC 2019 OUTLAND SPOUSAL SPONSORSHIP
- Thread starter manansaini
- Start date
Sadly border officers have a lot of discretion in how they execute their role, and there's little redress but to try again.
Yes, we are curious if it is even possible to try again without risk of an exclusion order. They seemed to threaten that and say to only come back with COPR or when COVID restrictions are lifted. It is a thin line between being seen as needing to travel but not being seen as actually moving and getting rejected.
Hi everyone,
Just thought I would write to update you guys on my case. Maybe this information will be useful for someone.
We applied for sponsorship on Sept 09 2019. I did the biometrics and my file was sent to the Mexico VO on November 2019.
On November 21st, 2019 I applied to get the CSQ. I received my CSQ on July 02nd, 2020 and as soon as I received it I scanned it and sent it to the Mexico VO through the document/message form system on the IRCC website. The Mexico VO sent me an email on July 15th letting me know they received it and that they had updated my file.
Since besides that I hadn't received any updates from IRCC or the Mexico VO since November, I wrote to them through the IRCC website form. they wrote back to me the same day saying that they are presently experiencing considerable delays because of the current national public health emergency in Mexico and that they are all working from home.
Honestly, at this point I can only wait for the Mexico VO to eventually continue processing my file or for the VO to decide to re-open so that they process this. I feel like the Canadian government should be more flexible, especially with us that are just trying to be reunited with our loved ones during this pandemic.
In any way, my advice would be, independently to if you have received your CSQ, if your sponsorship application has reached the 12-month mark and you have already been assigned to a VO, get in touch with them through the IRCC website form. I imagine different VOs from different countries are experiencing delays, maybe some are not. But at least they will give you an answer to your case.
Thanks and good luck to everyone!

Got the CSQ about a month ago. No update since then. I saw a while back an update from someone saying the Singapore VO sent his PPR like 5 weeks after the CSQ came so I'm hoping mine (Mississauga) is processed on a similar timeline.
